Thirty-day marijuana use fell from 22 percent in 2011 to 20 percent in 2013, and lifetime use declined from 39 percent to 37 percent during the same two years. None of the declines shown in the preliminary data represent a statistically significant drop in rates.

Yup. Said all that "data" came from a survey of high school students. I remember High School. I would certainly put a great deal of stock in a survey that the Nerd and Preppy kids filled out about their pot usage which may or may not be true.
As I mentioned, I doubt the stoners even bothered to fill it out.
Now if you had mandatory blood analysis of the THC levels in this same body of students, then you might be able to conclude something accurate.
But why should we be interested in accurate data on a topic such as this? The advocates will jump on six months worth of proxy data that may or may not represent anything, and they will declare themselves right.
